Compliance with FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference
Regulations
Determining FCC Class
The Federal Comm
u
nications Commission (FCC) has r
u
les to protect wireless comm
u
nications from interference. The FCC
places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for
u
se in ind
u
strial-commercial locations only)
or Class B (for
u
se in residential or commercial locations). All National Instr
u
ments (NI) prod
u
cts are FCC Class A prod
u
cts.
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A prod
u
ct co
u
ld be s
u
bject to restrictions in the FCC r
u
les. (In Canada, the
Department of Comm
u
nications (DOC), of Ind
u
stry Canada, reg
u
lates wireless interference in m
u
ch the same way.) Digital
electronics emit weak signals d
u
ring normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless prod
u
cts.
All Class A prod
u
cts display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and
u
ndesired
operation. The FCC r
u
les have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A prod
u
cts can be operated.

Federal Communications Commission
This eq
u
ipment has been tested and fo
u
nd to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, p
u
rs
u
ant to part 15 of the FCC
R
u
les. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmf
u
l interference when the eq
u
ipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This eq
u
ipment generates,
u
ses, and can radiate radio freq
u
ency energy and, if not installed and
u
sed in accordance with the instr
u
ction man
u
al, may ca
u
se harmf
u
l interference to radio comm
u
nications. Operation of this
eq
u
ipment in a residential area is likely to ca
u
se harmf
u
l interference in which case the
u
ser is req
u
ired to correct the interference
at their own expense.
